The Lexington Town Celebrations Committee is seeking volunteers to serve as parade ambassadors for the Patriots' Day Afternoon Parade on Monday, April 21.Parade ambassadors march in a two or three-person team in front of a parade unit. They carry a banner that identifies the local business or civic group who is sponsoring the particular unit.This is a great opportunity to help Lexington celebrate the town's signature event. Those who have never marched in a parade before, this is the chance. High school students receive four hours of community service credit.The celebration committee encourages members of sports or academic teams, walking partners, civic groups, friends, neighbors and students to apply. Teenagers, young adults, and adults are all encouraged to volunteer. The minimum age to volunteer is 11 years old.To sign up, visit the Celebrations Committee webpage. A member of the committee will contact volunteers with further details.
